Sigur Rós - ‘Takk…’


"There is nothing clever about Sigur Rós and how we write songs, it's just mucking about really. It's all very spontant (sic)," says the band's Kjartan Sveinsson, although most musicians could muck about for millennia and never come up with anything approaching 'Takk…'.

Flowing through 65 minutes of 11 linked pieces, 'Takk…' came together relatively quickly (in Sigur Rós terms), with recording starting in earnest last December and mixing finishing this June. The running order more or less wrote itself by the spring, with several additional songs naturally falling by the wayside as the record took shape.

The band deliberately put a halt to live performances two years ago, to ensure anything they wrote towards the album would remain fresh in their minds. As a result only two of the songs on 'Takk…' have ever been heard at shows (prior to the band's current European jaunt), with the remaining nine taking off in a multitude of new directions, only hinted at by the band's previous work.
